How to prepare
- Complete a thorough medical evaluation, including blood tests and possibly an ECG.
- Disclose all current medications, especially blood thinners (aspirin, warfarin), which may need to be paused.
- Follow specific dietary instructions, which may include a light diet or clear liquids the day before.
- Undergo bowel preparation, such as taking laxatives or an enema, to empty the colon.
- Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure and assist you during initial recovery.
- Fast (no food or drink) for 6-12 hours before the surgery as advised by the surgeon.
- Discuss anesthesia options (local, spinal, or general) and associated pre-operative guidelines.

I was a total wreck before...
I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a doctor on my own and I was convinced it was something serious. Dr. Ram just listened, didn't rush me, and explained everything in a way that actually calmed me down. The hospital is huge and a bit overwhelming, but he made it feel okay. Left feeling like I could breathe again.
